RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 705,110, dated July 22,1902.

V Application filed August, 1901. Serial No. 71,099. (No model.)

fo all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that we, EMIL MORITZ, LOUIS N. FRYMIRE, and SANFORD KoONs,citizens of the United States, residing at Vatsontown, in the county ofNorthumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulRadiator, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to radiators; and the object of the same is toprovide a simple and effective device of this class adapted for ap-`plication to thesmoke pipe or iiue of a stove or heater and soconstructed as to cause the hot air to pass into the lower end thereofand as it becomes heated by the products of combustion passinginto theradiator from the smoke pipe or iiue will naturally rise and pass out ofthe upper end of the device and be iinmediately replaced by an incomingcharge of cold air, special means being provided for varying thedirection of circulation of the products of combustion, so as to obtainthe heat distribution as desired, whereby an economy in the use of fuelwill result and an apartment or inclosure become more quickly heated.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of theseveral parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described andclaimed.

In the drawings, Figure l isa side elevation of the improved radiator,showing the legs thereof broken through. Fig. 2 is a transverse verticalsection of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken in a planeabout centrally of the radiator.

Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate correspondingparts in the several views.

The numeral l designates an outer cylindrical shell or casing havingupper and lower removable heads 2 and 3, which are normally tied bybonding-rods 4, supplied with removable nuts 5. The heads are formedOwith a series of openings incircular alinement and having thimbles 6fitted in and projecting inwardly from the two heads. These thimblesform inner collars, and removably engaging the same are the upper andlower extremities of vertically-disposed tubular ducts 7, which aregradually converged from their lower ends uppermost fully to the upperends, the thimbles of the opposite heads being proportionately sized tosuit or compensate for the difference in dimension of the opposite endsof the ducts. The latter are fully open at both eX- tremities and haveno communication whatever with the interior of the radiator, andcentrally disposed in the latter and extending vertically therethroughis a large pipe 8 to receive the smoke and products of combustion. Thehead2 hasa central collar 9, which iits into the upper end of the saidpipe-section and also projects above the head for attachment orengagement with the smoke pipe or flue of a stove or heater to which thedevice may be applied. The lower end of the pipen section projects belowthe cap 3 for securement to the smoke pipe or iiue of the stove orfurnace, and at a suitable distance above the lower end of the saidpipe-section, but close to the lower cap or head, said section is formedwith diametrically-opposed openings l0,which communicate with theinterior of the radiator, and cooperating with these .openings is ovaldamper ll, secured to a damper-rod l2, which is exteriorly operative.The said damper is of such shape that when arranged in either one of twooblique positions it will shut out the one opening l0 and permit thesmoke` and products of combustion to pass into the radiator through theother opening to thus vary the circulation, or if an unobstructed outletof the smoke and products of combustion from the stove or furnace bedesired the said damper will be arranged vertically in the pipe-section8. In planes at right angles to the opposed diametric position of theopenings l0 arev opposite diametrically-arranged partitions 13, whichextend from the bottom to a point well up in the radiator, saidpartitions being disposed between the section 8 and the casing l andserve as a bafiie means for causing the smoke and products of combustionto iiow upwardly through one half of the .radiator around the pipes insaid half and then downwardly through the other half around the pipes orducts in the latter and out through the opening l0, which communicateswith the section 8 above the damper which shuts said opening out ofcommunication with. the portion of the section below the IOO saiddamper. A thorough circulation of the smoke and products of combustionis thus set up, and the caloric thereof is best and most 'economicallyutilized to heat the ducts and the air contained therein, and whenescape of the smoke and products of combustion is finally permitted verylittle, if any, heat will remain therein. To take the weight strain oft`the smoke pipe or iiue to which the radiator is applied and to hold theradiator in stable position, legs 14 depend from the lower head or cap 3and contact with any suitable rest below.

By having the ducts regularly converged froln their lower to their upperends the cold air will be drawn into said ducts in greater quantities atthe inlet-points of the latter by the greater or less amount of suctioncreated by the hot air iiowing upwardly through and escaping from theupper reduced ends of the said ducts, the said hot air being theprevious charge of cold entering the ducts and heated by the smoke andproducts of combustion iiowing therearound Within the radiator. Theadjustment of the damper in either one of its two oblique positions willpermit the device to be arranged to concentrate the heat more in onehalf than in the other in the event that one half of the radiator isdisposed to receive a much colder air at one side than the other, as itis obvious that the half of the radiator that the smoke and products ofcornbustion first enter will be more rapidly heated than the other half.The removability of the ducts is also an important feature, as in theevent of wear or injury any one or more of the same may be easilyremoved and replaced by new ones without trouble or material delay andalso without impairing the radiator as a whole. The number of d nots maybe increased or decreased in proportion to the radiator structure as anentirety, and other changes in the minor details may be made withoutdeparting from the principle involved.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- 1. In aradiator, the combination of an outer casing, upper and lower headsremovably mounted therein and provided with circular lines of openings,the openings of the upper head being smaller than those of the lowerhead, thimbles fitted in and projecting inwardly from the openings ofthe said heads, vertically-disposed ducts removably engaging theinwardly-projecting thimbles and regularly converged their full lengthsfrom the lower ends thereof to the top ends, an enlarged pipe-sectionvertically disposed in the center of the radiator and fully open at bothends, the lower portion of the said pipe-section having oppositediametrically-disposed, enlarged openings, an oval damper adjustablycoacting with said openings, and diametrically-disposed partitions inthe radiator between the pipe-section and the casing, said partitionsextending upwardly almost the full length of the radiator and dividingthe latter into two halves.

2. In aradiator, the combination of an outer casing, upper and lowerheads removably mounted therein, a centrally-disposed pipesectionopening through the heads and having lower openings therein and adamper, ducts vertically disposed in the casing and fully openingthrough the said heads, the said ducts being regularly converged theirfull lengths from the lower to the top ends thereof, all the ductsconverging in the same direction and removably attached to said heads,and dividing-partitions in the device between the pipe-section and thecasing.

3. In a radiator, the combination of an outer casing, a smoke-pipeextending through said casing and having oppositely-disposed openings inthe lower end thereof, a damper disposed 'obliquely in the lower end ofsaid pipe between said openings, and dividing-partitions disposed insaid casing at diametrically opposite points, said partitions extendingfrom the bottom to a point near the top of said casing.

4. In a radiator, the combination of an outer casing provided with aseries of openings at its opposite ends, vertical pipes orfines-disposed in said casing and adapted to register at their oppositeends with the openings in the end of said casing, dividing-partitionsdisposed in said casing between said pipes at diametrically oppositepoints, said partitions extending to a point near the top of saidcasing, a smoke-pipe extending through said casing and havingoppositely-disposed openings in the lower end thereof, and a damperdisposed obliquely in the lower end of said smoke-pipe between saidopenings, whereby the smoke-pipe may be alternately placed incommunication with the casing on opposite sides thereof.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have heretoaffixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
